Re: Evolution Online

As the temperature in the area dropped and the tension in the air became palpable, the Oracle was the first to break the weird silence.

"What? Fortune telling? What nonsense! What the hell are you doing here?" He asked the weird monk who had popped out of nowhere. 

He had never seen this person before in his life or even heard of him, and yet somehow he had shown up here? Exactly in this location? Was this just a coincidence?

It had to be!

But would Liam believe that it was a simple coincidence?

Seeing all of this hard word go down the drain, Caden was truly scared for his life. He had only just managed to convince Liam, but now everything was getting out of his hands once again.

Especially seeing the big wide smile on the monk's face, he felt as if he was going crazy.

"Mr. Liam, I have no idea who this man is!" Caden immediately tried to reason with Liam.

"What do you mean you have no idea, good sir?" The monk nonchalantly replied. "I just introduced myself. I am but a humble fortune teller."

Caden's anger instantly shot up as the vein on his forehead throbbed. "If you are a fortune teller, then who am I?" He was usually a calm and composed person, but right now, he simply wanted to beat up this bastard in front of him until he could no longer smile again.

"Ah… Blessings. Blessings. Good sir, please calm down. By any chance, are you also a fortune teller? And why are you naked?"

"Motherfucker!" Caden now completely lost it. "I am not some scamming piece of shit like you. I am an honorable Oracle!" He shouted in frustration.

This was the one bargaining chip that he had for Liam, and now this bastard was taking this as well away from him.

However, the monk remained as oblivious as ever. "Oh?" He made a curious O shape with his mouth and then smiled some more. 

"Blessings. Blessings. This is my first time meeting another man of our trade. Good sir, my good wishes and blessings are always with you."

The monk made a customary action of blessing Caden, and on top of that, he also gave a knowing wink for some reason.

Caden's eyes widened in shock. Did he actually wink? Just who the heck was this jackass? Why was he casually signing his death warrant?

Meanwhile, seeing these two yapping at each other, Liam's face twitched in annoyance. He couldn't care less about these idiots at the moment. 

The person that actually mattered here and the one who could potentially end his life, along with the lives of every single living thing on this planet, was the draconian princess!

So Liam did not dare take his eyes off the woman in front of him. 

In fact, this was the first time he got a good look at her. She was now completely different from the vague prisoner he had met back in the game.

While the prisoner was slender, lifeless, and more similar to a corpse, this woman was alive! 

She was full of life and energy. Not just that, she also had horns on her head and red eyes, with her teeth and fingernails unnaturally sharp and extended like that of a beast.

Her figure, too, was not ordinary. She had an extremely seductive body with pronounced curves that could make any man want to stare at her for all eternity. 

The violet scales that barely hid anything shimmered under the colors of the dusk. Even her beastial features only made her look more enchanting. In a word, she was exquisite.

As if realizing that Liam was staring at her, the draconian princess looked amused. The next second she snapped her fingers with a cunning little smile dancing on her lips.

Her seemingly normal red eyes started glowing. Unfathomably deep golden slits appeared within them.

Immediately, the two men who were bickering turned to look at her as if they were drawn by a strange force. They stared at her in a trance, not remembering the heads or tails of their current conversation.

Seeing this, the draconian princess revealed a satisfied smirk. Her gaze then shifted to Liam. But unfortunately, the same couldn't be said for him.

The guy was still staring at her with hatred and animosity in his eyes, not in the least affected by her charms. "A tough one, aren't you?" She frowned and clicked her tongue.

Liam sneered in contempt. "Stop with this nonsense. What are you doing here? How did you escape that prison?"

He He. The draconian princess smirked again. "Wouldn't you like to know? After all, you made sure that there was no way I was getting out of there, right?"

Liam's gaze hardened, and he silently made sure that the soul shield he erected was still sturdy and effective.

"Sigh. I already said that I don't want to harm you. Why won't you just trust me? You have some serious trust issues."

As if agreeing with her, the Oracle also nodded his head while the third party simply looked from one person to another, not knowing what the heck was happening.

Liam, on the other hand, still remained silent, not caring to comment.

It was clear that the conversation here had reached an impasse. Neither side was willing to take the leap, and neither side was willing to let their guard down.

Naturally, this did not include the two dummies who were also present in the vicinity.

A few more minutes of awkward silence passed by when the draconian princess finally took the first step. "Look here, brat. I will not beat around the bush anymore. I am here only for you."

"Hmmm?" Liam scoffed.

"Heh? You don't believe me?" She smirked. 

"Did you really think that a pitiful human being, that too a snot-nosed brat like you, who has lived for less than a century, could outwit me? Brat, I have been playing you right from the beginning!"
